What Are Chartered Accountants?
Chartered accountants are qualified professionals who manage, analyse, and report on financial data to support sound business decisions. They are certified by recognised institutions, such as the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA), and possess a deep understanding of financial laws, corporate governance, and international accounting standards.
Their expertise extends beyond bookkeeping and auditing; they are strategic advisors who help businesses grow sustainably, comply with regulatory frameworks, and maximise profitability.
